Auto-Tuning
The 400W-series auto-tune feature allows you
to quickly select any database frequency in the GPS
window as your standby frequency. Any COM fre-
quency displayed in the GPS window can be trans-
ferred to the standby COM frequency field, with a
minimum of keystrokes required. The following are
some examples of selecting COM frequencies from
some of the main GPS pages.
